An article in a Morning Paper-of ti;i4 day,, states a 'report that an addition is likely to lie made to'tlie present Administration, by the introdu6tion of Lord Stt~:unv7 ft and. his fri,nds to power. This report, we believe, is entitled to about as much credit as is v.ppliedble to similar reports in the same quarter.

The sdvices fratii Metnel, dated the, end of September, apprize us that 'for the present no ships under any flag whatever : are permitted • to enter that harbour. By the same opportunity we have a Decree of NAPOLEON, dated October the 3d, from Fontainbleau, under which 'as•sa concession in favour of the Danes, it is allowed that all kinds of colonial produce remaining in Holstein may enter the French line of Customs by . the way of Halm buN,h, on payment of the duties requited. by the Tariff of the et It of August last. BERNADOTTE left Hamburgh under adischarge of artillery, on his N,v 4y to Sweden.

Letters have been receivel from the coast of ,Bispy to the 6th. instant. Their contents:arF of a most pleasing nature. The patriots of Navarre, Ar lagon, .and Old Castile, are daily gaining an acces sion to, their numbers, and their dar i ng spir i t; ill `restrained by the proxiMity of the'French; and'un -.subdued by any reverses, was hobrly Meditating "important 'achievements, calculated at once to strike terror into their foes,- to excite a pia it of resistance among theirciuntryMen, and to shed -a lustre over their Own cause. • , • • Aiconsiderable treasure, destined for the pay of the French arit,ies, was on the t4th Olt, intercepted between Coza and Aureza, •on the great road lead ing from Bayonne to Madrid. The escort corn-, prised . 300 infantry, and 1 50 cavalry ; and owing to informatton which the Governor of Gomara h a d, received, he had thought fit to increase it to 600 men. The patriotic force was barely 550; and its Commander, • Don Espana Mena, therefore pru dently chose to 'make the attack under cover of the , night,/ The enemy, ttimugh taken by burprize, made a vigorous resistance; • but being driven back, twelve waggons with the treasure were Carried off by the patriots, 'as well as 60 prisoners, 30 hOrses, arms, ammunition, &c.—The boy thos'rnade was calculated at 200,000 crowns—a greater sum we b e tile , th,tn has-Yet been taken by so small a force from the enemy, and which must tend still further to exhaust his resources. We have 'also before us raticulars of a well-arranged plan, for surpris ing the town and garrisr)n of Grimara, which was frustrated on the eve of its / execution, owing to the enemy being apprised, by a spy, of the intention of the patriots. The juxta-position of this latter place, being mid-way between Bayonne and Madrid, ap-, pears to have first invited the designs' of the patriots, as enabling them' more efleaually to cut off the enemy's principal communication with France. — Though this, as well •as some 'other plans,• had proved abortive, one good, had resulted from the alertness and activity of the Guerrillas ; the enemy, inskead of eetachtng troops to reinforce the various ctitps under Massena, Victor, O'Donnell, and Se bed found it necessary to retain a number cot d,lence of, the Northern Provinces.

To the conduet of Capt. BROWN may be attributed the release of his vessel, 'in consequence of his be li:wing in so spirited- a manner during the time he remained on board the French brig, after discover ing there were so many of his brother seamen in fetters, and the ilritannids crew being Lrge, the French Captain was of opinion that it would he - , better to release their vessel and send them on board. As soon as she was delivered up, a boat from the_ brig was sent to plunder her, which they did most effetaually, taking with them the greater part of her provisions, and every movable article, together with all her charts and a 'quadrant : they again re turned, and hove part of_ her guns and ammunition ' overboard, and were about to take away ten gallons brandy, when Capt.
